During the panel discussion at the film festival, moderator Jesse Kornbluth was booed after he asked Pfeiffer how much she weighed during filming, the NY Daily News reported.  

Audience members heckled him with shouts of 'Why do you need to know!?' and 'Why!' 

Pfeiffer took the question in her stride and explained she didn't know how much she weighed but she was required to be thin because her character was a cocaine addict.

'I was starving by the end of this movie,' she told the audience.
